Game Recap: Padres 6 – Mets 5

Another day of too little, too late for the Mets.

The Mini Recap

A strong start from John Maine turned into a debacle in just one inning.  The San Diego Padres scored five runs in the third inning.  Four scoreless innings from the Mets bullpen kept them in the game and the offense attempted to scratch back.

Two home runs were the way the Mets scored  their five runs.  A three-run blast in the first put the Mets up early and a two-run dinger in the eighth brought the Mets within one.  But that’s all they could manage off of Jake Peavy and the Padres ‘pen.
